The public boat docks at Volunteer Landing will be closed until early next year when repairs can be made following a crash involving a private boat, city officials said.

The docks, near Calhoun's on the River, already were slated for temporary repairs to handle Vol Navy boat traffic during the University of Tennessee football season.

"The set of docks close to Calhoun's were constructed for the 1982 World's Fair and are at the end of their useful life," according to city news release Thursday. "The docks at Calhoun's and the Vol Navy docks near Neyland Stadium are scheduled to be completely replaced by the city in early 2018."

The Vol Navy docks to the west will remain open during football season.

Knoxville City Council members are set to vote Tuesday on a resolution authorizing Mayor Madeline Rogero's office to accept a grant of up to $350,000 from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to replace the docks near Calhoun's.
